Hey folks

By now, most (or all) of you should have received your copy (or copies) of Nomfiction. We hope you love the book as much as we do.

The first time we saw them in person was at AWP16 in Los Angeles at the beginning of April, where we the good fortune of selling a bunch and the even better fortune of meeting a few of the authors face to face.

For those of you who got in on the Prix Fixe offer and ordered more than one copy, your adventure isn’t over. Each of one you will get Nomfiction tote (or possibly poster or t-shirt) from Litographs, and we’re going to draw a few other prizes as well: custom recipe cards, a Nomfiction apron, and dinner in Toronto with the Little Fiction | Big Truths crew and some of our Nomfiction authors (travel and lodging not included). These prizes are subject to change, but rest assured that if they do, we’ll still get you something awesome.

Thank you again for helping us bring Nomfiction into print. We obviously couldn’t have done it without you.

If you’re so inclined, please take to Amazon and Goodreads and say something nice about the book. We, and all the authors, would love you even more for it.

And a couple of final notes…

If you ordered our music anthology, A Mixtape Of Words, it’s coming soon(ish). The book is still in production but is nearing completion. Stay tuned.

In the meantime (and if you haven’t already), please check out our third book here at Inkshares, a nonfiction tech anthology called Re/Coded. It’s a unique and varied look at the many different ways technology has helped / messed up our lives — with work by Ray Shea, Stacey May Fowles, Lindsay Gates-Markel, and many other fantastic writers. We think you’ll like it.

That’s us for now.

Happy reading,

your LF | BT crew

Hello there faithful companions! 

I come bearing gifts! 

 (These are not my hands, in case there was any confusion)

In this modern age, it can be hard to find time to crack open your freshly downloaded ebook version of Ageless. But do not fear, because I have come to your aid and brought with me the opening three chapters in the form of an audio sample read and recorded by yours truly. Now, listen while you drive, run, walk, sit, cook, eat, cut your grass, tie your shoes, roll your eyes at the annoying neighbors, scale a mountain, scale a fish, scale a dragon ...you get the point. 

OVER AN HOUR OF THE BOOK READ TO YOU! (just enough to really hoooooook you in! And, according to the ebook and ABSOLUTELY no studies, that hook point is about 13% of the total book)

Just CLICK THIS LINK and download your audio excerpt of Ageless by Paul Inman (that’s me)

****Takes a break from the Ageless promoting****

Ok. Here’s the deal...

There’s a project that’s nearing its funding goal that I’d like to bring your attention to. It still needs a little over 180 pre-orders to get full funding on Inkshares. I think it’s worth your attention and I hope you’ll agree. Check it out:

A God in the Shed by J-F Dubeau is a Fantasy/Horror story set in the forgettably small village of St-Ferdinand, in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. The villagers have been hiding terrible secret for generations, but when their mysterious captive escapes but gets inadvertently trapped in the McKenzy’s backyard shed, it’s up to the Venus and her friends to figure out how to dispose of this terrible and malevolent burden; an Old God of hate and death.

You can find out more about this dark and beautiful, read sample chapters, reviews and pre-order you copy of A God in the Shed by visiting: www.inkshares.com/books/a-god-in-the-shed

You can listen to the prologue as read by Ageless author Paul Inman (yes the same Paul Inman, me) here: youtu.be/XJw5oZhqtXo

Need more incentive?

•Each pre-order enters you into the ‘I want to kill a reader’ raffle. The winner will have his name and likeness used in the book as a minor character that gets killed off. The author will work with the winner to find the appropriate means of demise to satisfy both the winner and the story.

•Each physical copy of A God in the Shed will be signed and numbered as an exclusive first edition item.

•Free, exclusive A God in the Shed bookmarks will be included with the physical copies and mailed to eBook supporters.

•Orders of three or more copies guarantees your name to appear in the Patrons list printed at the end of the book.

•You get to enjoy the satisfaction and pride at having supported both art and literature.

A God in the Shed is the first part of a trilogy that pushes the line between beauty and horror by telling a story that changes how we look at magic and the world around us. You have a chance of being part of making this book a reality and supporting a new author on his journey.

However, time is running out! The campaign ends April 22nd. Don’t miss out and order today!

Here’s the thing Ladies and Gents, 

JF Dubeau and Paul Inman do a podcast called WriteBrain. In one of the recent episodes they interviewed Mr. G Derek Adams, author of Asteroid made of Dragons. Derek said something that struck home with me which was basically, the best way to promote your stuff is to make more stuff. I like that. I’m not great at writing these updates. Or blogging. Or social networking in a constructive way. I just like writing stuff that makes me laugh. In that spirit, I’m just going to share some stuff and I hope you like it. If you like it I hope you’ll check out my book and perhaps share my book. Either way I hope it gives you a laugh.

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

31 Orders, Space Crew. 

That’s all that’s separating us from publication. Every single order counts. 

I need your help to keep our momentum going. Because I don’t want to stop at 250. I want to go all the way to fully funded, and for that we’re running out of time.

If you’re following this project but haven’t yet grabbed a copy of your own, now is the time. 

If you ordered the e-book and are now considering a physical (signed) copy, that gets us closer too. 

If you haven’t yet recommended the book to your friends, you can use the Inkshares recommendation links and earn credit at the same time. 

All of these activities also mean prizes! (info here)

So please, keep that support coming. I’ve already started on the theme song. 

Your Sophisticated and Sensational Space Captain,

Hey Abomination fans! Just a reminder that I now have a book club kinda thing set up at Inkshares wherein I recommend one new book every month. For a meager monthly subscription you get a copy of every book I pick! Here’s the link to the club:

https://www.inkshares.com/syndicates/nomad

So I just got an email from Inkshares, letting me know Deus Hex Machina was selected as this month’s CEO Syndicate pick!  Alluva sudden we’ve blown past 200 orders, and are almost to 220!  It’s amazing!

Well, here we go!

THE EBOOK IS LIVE AND READY FOR YOUR DOWNLOAD! Just login to Inkshares, click your profile pic in the right corner, go to your bookshelf and DOWNLOAD!

Also, the physical copies of the book are at the warehouse and begin shipping ASAP! By the end of the week (roughly) you should have your copy of AGELESS in your hand, just like the one below!

When you get it, TAG IT and yourself on ALL social media with the hashtags #AgelessByPaulInman, #scifibooks, and tag me @paulinmansc on Twitter and Instagram!

REVIEWS ARE THE LIFE BLOOD OF BOOKS - read the story then keep Ageless alive (heh, puns) by posting a short written review on the following platforms:

GOODREADS PAGE - NOW OPEN and we are 4.75 out 5 stars!

AMAZON PAGE - Not open yet, but it will open SOON (around Pub date, May 3rd). Just copy your Goodreads review to the Amazon page when it’s live.

I’m shooting for at least 60 positive reviews on these platforms, which is VERY doable! Just talk about why you liked it...or I’ll make it easy for you - just copy and paste -

I loved the book! Pick up a copy!

(IF you feel like the story wasn’t up to your standards please contact me HERE in lieu of a poor review, and tell me how I can grow as a writer for my next project. It would benefit me more to have an open conversation with you than a poor review)

Don’t forget, WE HAVE A VENUE FOR THE LAUNCH PARTY! I’ve partnered up with a local comic book shop called Coastal Comics! Saturday, MAY 7, 12-2pm. Come and hang out with me! Get your copy of Ageless signed and maybe hear a reading and MAYBE get some free swag...(again, who is paying for that?) Also, pick up a free comic book while you’re there for Free Comic Book Day!

Last, but certainly not least, this entire experience is possible because of YOU. I couldn’t have made it this far without your support. Thank you will never be enough.

Hello Champions!

Extremely happy to report that Champions of the Third Planet is being supported by the Nomad Syndicate from Gary Witta! Thanks so much for the support!

I’m writing like crazy right now -- I will have some updates soon!
